"419" Scam – Advance Fee / Fake Lottery Scam

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!

Subject: DO GET BACK TO ME



Hello,
My name is Mr. Turner harper , a member of Independent Committee of Eminent
Persons (ICEP), Switzerland. ICEP is charged with the responsibility of
finding bank accounts in Switzerland belonging to non-Swiss indigenes, which
have remained dormant since World War II.

It may interest you to know that in July of 1997, the Swiss Banker's
Association published a list of dormant accounts originally opened bynon-Swiss
citizens. These accounts had been dormant since the end of World War II (May
9, 1945). Most belonged to Holocaust victims.

The continuing efforts of the Independent Committee of Eminent Persons
(ICEP) have since resulted in the discovery of additional dormant accounts -
54,000 in December, 1999.
The published lists contain all types of dormant accounts, including
interest-bearing savings accounts, securities accounts, safe deposit boxes,
custody accounts, and non-interest-bearing transaction accounts. Numbered
accounts are also included. Interest is paid on accounts that were interest
bearing when established.

The Claims Resolution Tribunal (CRT) handles processing of all claims on
accounts due non-Swiss citizens. A dormant account of ORDNER ADELE with a
credit balance of 35,000,000 US dollar plus accumulated interest was
discovered by me. The beneficiary was murdered during the holocaust
era, leaving no WILL and no possible records for trace of heirs.

The Claims Resolution Tribunal has been mandated to report all
unclaimed funds for permanent closure of accounts and transfer of existing
credit balance into the treasury of Switzerland government as provided by the
law for management of assets of deceased beneficiaries who died interstate
(living no wills).

Being a top executive at ICEP, I have all secret details and necessarycontacts
for claim of the funds without any hitch. The funds will be banked in the
Cayman Island, being a tax free, safe haven for funds and we can share the
funds and use in investment of our choice.

Due to the sensitive nature of my job, I need a foreigner to HELP claimthe
funds. All that is required is for you to provide me with your details for
processing of the necessary legal and administrative claim documents for
transfer of the funds in your name.

Kindly provide me with your full name, address, and telephone/fax. I have had
everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. I have contacted
an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as
the next of kin to ORDNER ADELE before the fund can be transferred to
asecure, numbered account in your name in the Cayman Island, of which you will
be capable of accessing the funds gradually and transferring to your country
and other banks of choice in the world. My share will be 60 percent and your
share is 40 percent of the total amount. THERE IS NO RISK INVOLVED.You can
find additional information about unclaimed funds through the internet at the
following websites:

http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/europe/9902/09/germany.holocaust/
www.avotaynu.com

www.livingheirs.com
www.wiesenthal.com

The Holocaust Claims Processing Office has put funds in Escrow awaiting
submission of valid claims for necessary disbursement.I find myself privileged
to have this information and this may be a great opportunity for a life time
of success without risks. Due to security reasons, reply to me via email only.
You may reply to me securely on the following email:- (turner_harper1@o2.pl)
Thank you for your prompt response.
Best Regard
Mr. harper Turner
